Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 45 Convincing Li Ke
In fact, from the conversation between Li Ke and Li Yin just now, Gao Ming came to the conclusion that their lives were not as good as Gao Ming imagined.

There is a popular saying in the palace called "the mother is more valuable than the child", which is actually not wrong, but when it comes to Li Shimin, the saying "the mother is more valuable than the mother" is more reliable.

According to historical records, Li Shimin had many children, but the only ones he really loved were the children born to the eldest grandson empress.

And the most important thing is that these doting on Li Shimin is not just lip service, but a real thing!
As the crown prince, Li Chengqian's treatment goes without saying. Except for Li Shimin, he is the most comfortable person in the palace, and Li Tai is not bad. Li Shimin gave him the Furong Garden in Nuoda. I don't know how many princes and princesses envy, jealousy, hate.

Li Zhi and Li Mingda, brothers and sisters, were brought up by Li Shimin himself, and they are the only ones among all the princes and princesses, not to mention the treatment.

Compared with them, other princes and princesses are much worse.

This point, Gao Ming can see it from Li Yin who is eating the cake.

However, Gao Ming is not a savior. The reason why he is so kind to Li Yin is that he promises and gives cakes. In fact, he mainly targets Li Yin's brother Li Ke.

As the saying goes, "One fence has three stakes, and one hero has three gangs." If Gao Ming wants to secure the position of prince, it is also very important to have a few brothers to help him, just like the cheerleading team beside the basketball court.

And in Gao Ming's view, Li Ke's role is much stronger than that of the cheerleaders. As long as he can help him sincerely, he can save himself a lot of trouble.

However, Gao Ming himself is very clear that as a superior person, he must know how to use both kindness and power, so that the other party will be convinced, and at the same time he will feel that there is hope for him to follow him.

Therefore, after he settled Li Yin, he turned his attention to Li Ke again.

"Third brother, since you call me big brother, then big brother will not hide from you. I told you this morning. In my eyes, among all the sons of the father, except me , and only you look good, "

As soon as Gao Ming's voice fell, Li Ke stood up immediately, and then cupped his hands towards Gao Ming.

"Brother is absurd, Ke is really ashamed."

Seeing his nervous expression, Gao Ming waved his hand again, signaling him to sit down.

"Third son, you are talented and cautious in doing things. To put it bluntly, besides me, you are the only one worthy of the position of prince among all the princes."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Ke, who had already sat down, stood up again, with a hint of panic on his face.

"Brother, I have absolutely no intention of coveting the position of the crown prince. I dare to guarantee it with my life. If my brother doesn't believe me, I can swear a poisonous oath here..."

Before Li Ke could finish speaking, Li Yin also stood up.

"Brother, you must trust my brother, he is afraid that you will not be able to make it in time, how dare he compete with you for the position, he even told me to stay away from you two days ago!"

Hearing Li Yin's words, Gao Ming sighed helplessly.

"Hey, brother, you don't blame you for your brain, so you can eat your cake and don't talk, okay?"

"Oh!"

Being interrupted by Li Yin, Li You, who was still very nervous, eased up a little, and Gao Ming smiled at him again.

"Third brother, don't be so nervous. I didn't say you wanted to compete with me for the crown prince's position. I just said you have the qualifications."

"Brother, I..."

Seeing that he still wanted to explain something, Gao Ming waved to him again.

"Listen to me first. I didn't call you here today to scare you. I just want you to think about a question. If I can't keep my position as the crown prince, what do you think will happen to you?"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, Li Ke was stunned for a moment.

"This……"

Li Ke is a smart person, because he is smart enough, so when Gao Ming reminded him, he immediately thought of a lot.

Seeing Li Ke's frown, Gao Ming smiled again.

"Third brother, you are a smart person. You can understand many things without explaining them very clearly. You should know about me and Qingque. Qingque has ambitions, but it is not so easy for him to bring me down. We can at most It can only be considered evenly matched, even if I fall, I can drag him into the water, so that he can't be the crown prince."

Having said that, Gao Ming slowly walked up to Li Ke, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Third brother, think about it, if both Qingque and I fall, with your ability and reputation, there must be many people in the court who want to support you as the prince, but there are also people who don't want you to be the crown prince, and this person The authority is quite high, once the new emperor ascends the throne, what do you think he will do?"

As Gao Ming's voice fell, Li Ke's expression changed immediately.

He had heard what Gao Ming said just now, and he could judge that these words should not be false. He could even deduce from the few words of Gao Ming just now, that the "high authority" person in Gao Ming's mouth Who are people.

That is Changsun Wuji!
Li Ke is very clear that if it is true as Gao Ming said just now, once he fails in the fight for the throne and the new emperor ascends the throne, then Changsun Wuji will definitely attack him in order to cut off future troubles. It was too easy to kill him.

After thinking about this, Li Ke became anxious immediately. His eyes moved from side to side, his lips trembled slightly, and drops of sweat flowed down his cheeks.

Seeing Li Ke's appearance, Gao Ming was happy again.

"That's what I want!"

Li You was very smart, in order to calm him down in one fell swoop, Gao Ming's words just now were not fabricated, but another fact.

According to historical records, after Prince Li Chengqian was demoted for treason, Wei Wang Li Tai was also demoted for alleged conspiracy. At this time, Li Shimin wanted to make Li Ke the prince, but was stopped by Changsun Wuji. Later, Changsun Wuji wanted to avoid future troubles. , Li Ke was implicated in Princess Gaoyang's rebellion, and then framed to death!
So now, Gao Ming just made a hypothesis about what happened in history, and then told Li Ke. With Li Ke's cleverness, he can naturally push the result to a close.

Seeing that Li Ke's face turned pale, Gao Ming also knew that the time had come, so he patted him on the shoulder again.

"Third brother, it should be very clear by now that you can only have hope if I keep my position first, and you can have a good life in the future only if you stand by my side."

Having said that, Gao Ming took away the hand on Li Ke's shoulder, and then nodded at him.

"Brother will not treat you badly, I won't say much about the others, you should think about it carefully!"

As soon as Gao Ming's voice fell, Li Ke fell to his knees on the ground with a "plop".
